my awesome start of the year

2006-02-21T18:05:00.000-08:00

Well i havent wrote on this in awhile and figured I should. This year has definately gotten started off good. I bought my jeep in january and LOVE it. i have always wanted a jeep and im so happy that i finally got one.
Then i found out i got accepted to OSU and that made me even happier. Im so excited to finally get to go to the school of my dreams, but im scared to move 3 hours away from home. i think itll be good to get away for a while though, and my aunt will be there so ill still have close family around.
The Day before valentines day i got to go to the KU OSU game and stand in the student section and it was AWESOME. It made me so excited to be a student. Even though we lost it was still awesome to be right there and i got to be on national TV!!
On Valentines day i got a dozen roses and went out to eat at josies. it was probally the best valentines day i have ever had. I also got coconut clusters which is the best part of valentines day.
This past weekend was BPA state and i placed 4th and get to go to Orlando. It will be so much fun, Courtney, Kayleigh, Shelly, Vanessa Walker, Morgan Cheesman and i all qulaified and since there are more than 4 Ed has to go so itll be a fun last trip.
We are trying to get packed and make sure we have everything ready to go skiing which im anxiously waiting for! Ashley Coble, Lauren Hale, and my family and i are all going to Breckenridge and staying in a condo and skiing. We are also going to go tubing which will be alot of fun! i just cant wait! then when we get back 6 of us are going to a fall out boys concert!
The only downfall of this month was that Eddie Sutton got in a wreck and is on "medical sick" leave. but OSU made up for it by beating the crud out of texas(yes im a texas fan but not when it comes to osu beating them!) so it made it ok.i just wish sean sutton the best of luck! I guess thats all i have to say, it was alot but oh well its been a good start of the year. more later...

Well, Christmas break has come and gone way to fast.I had a good Christmas and got most of the things I wanted. It was nice to be off and spend time with my family. I seemed to have watched alot of movies, such as Fun with Dick and Jane, i liked this one quite a bit, The Family Stone, I saw this with my friends, and i really liked it, King Kong, even though the first hour puts you to sleep, the next two hours are good. I just found it interesting to watch this big ape fall in love with a girl. I also saw The Ringer, and my advice is save your money dont go watch it.
It doesn't seem possible that we have only one semester left of High School and then we are done. It is kind of scary as we prepare for college, but exciting at the same time. I am excited to move off to college, but nervous to.
I am completely ready for Spring Break! My parents are allowing me to take Lauren and Ashley skiing in Colorado for 5 days! I think it will be alot of fun, since none of us have ever skied before. It will be interesting to see us fall alot...we are going to come back very sore!

OSU WON!

2005-11-17T07:47:00.000-08:00

OSU beat Texas Tech!!!! YES YES YES THEY DID! and i was there to watch it all. It was awesome! The first half we completely dominated, but then the second half texas tech got some breaks and we fumbled, stupid reid! but we got a new quarterback and we won! Just like we will win against OU and Mr. Fletcher will be happily supporting the Orange and Black colors!

In other news, im stressing out majorly about college. we visitied the OSU campus, and its a sure thing im going to get lost. I am currently working on filling out my application, which is also scary. its time to grow up! and i definetly dont want to.

Um..not much else really going on, i saw Saw 2 a while back it was was really scary. i am still scared from it i think. Im considering going and seeing Derailed, ill report on how it is. Thats all for now

Bush's Troubles

2005-11-02T19:08:00.000-08:00

Write a brief summary of George W. Bush's troubles in filling the Supreme Court seat vacated by Sandra Day O' Connor, his current nominee, and whether or not you think his current nominee will get in.

Bush was having trouble filling the Supreme court seat vacated by Sandra Day O' Connor because there was so much controversy with Meirs and then she withdrew. Now his nominee is Altito. I think he will stay as the Nominee.

Its Finally November!

Well football season is officially over, and it kind of sucks. I was really looking forward a game on saturday, but oh well we ended up with a good season and im a very proud titan supporter! I guess not all football seasons are over, OSU still has to beat OU. I was also a proud Cowboy fan this weekend even though yes Texas beat us, we still put up a good fight! Way to go Cowboys!

Enough about football, the Jostens guy has been coming and i filled out my stuff for cap and gowns and i think im getting scared. In less then a year i will be out on my own away from my comfort zone of Columbus, Kansas..(hopefully). Senior year is hard. I feel like I am constantly doing something. I feel like like i have so many scholarships to fill out, plus an application that is really starting to worry me. Today my mom asked me if she could move up to Stillwater with me. (she seems to think i already got the acceptance letter?) and i told her no..i think she was heart broken, but i want to branch out on my own!

I went and saw SAW 2 -very scary movie! not really scary but very gorey..blah makes me sick thinking of it. I also saw Prime. It was funny, but not as good as i'd hoped for. There arent really any good movies out right now. I want to see the reese witherspoon movie, just like heaven i think is what its called.

Well i guess thats it..200 or some days till graduation!!!!!

Just Junk To Talk About

2005-10-18T11:18:00.000-07:00

Way to go Titans this weekend! i was a proud supported of the Titans as we beat the grizzlies! after the game i was also one that "Flooded the field" but honestly what happend to taking down the goal post? okay i believe mr. j would have been alittle ticked about it, but isnt that what flooding the field is all about?

the cowboys got stomped this weekend! Honestly is this new coach that good? I hope that eddie can make our bball team look better than our football team. Notre Dame also lost to USC, which totally sucks, because for some reason ive became a notre dame fan. it would have very nice to see USC lose and Texas move up to #1 where the belong! Next weekend OSU should be able to pull it off, but homecoming, texas will stomp us. it will be a miracle if we pull that one off. Not sure where the fighting irish play, hopefully they winl.

Enough about football. The High School drama just drags on. Girls are vicious. There is so much gossip, and who said that about them..wow it just makes you want to not talk to any girls and keep to yourself, sad huh? Honestly does it matter if so and so supposedly said that about her? i could care less! well i dunno it should all blow over, but anymore, i just dont care!

I guess thats all my griping for today.

Question #1

2005-10-18T10:39:00.000-07:00

1. http://www.cdc.gov/flu/avian/gen-info/facts.htm- This website explains the main points of the bird flu, how it is spread, and how if effects humans.

2. http://usinfo.state.gov/gi/Archive/2005/Oct/18-593270.html- Reports the bird flu emerging in Europe.

3. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4067116/- Discusses how the bird flu will effect us, and talking about maybe reducing traveling.

4. http://www.drugdelivery.ca/bird-flu.aspx- This site gives the history of the bird flu, and how it is effecting people now.

5. http://usinfo.state.gov/gi/global_issues/bird_flu.html- Tells how Bush proposed a plan to Congress

I think that in a major pandemic of a life threating illness the US should prepare the people for what could happen. I think that we should take some precaution. I dont think that we should start really worrying about it until it becomes a major issue, but i dont think it is something to be ignored.

Look! Theres Goofy!

2005-10-06T11:10:00.000-07:00

So maybe i sould start by explaining my blog title. While on a school trip to California we spent six days in Anaheim. While visiting DisneyLand i could have swore i had finally saw Goofy, which we had spent all day looking for, and screamed LOOK THERES GOOFY! Everyone was excited and looking around, and saying where is he? then i said right there! turns out it was Pluto, talk about how much of an idiot i felt. I have yet to live that expeirence down.

So, other than my stupid expeirence my life is pretty simple, my beloved OSU team lost saturday, and i think a tear actually fell. Hopefully they will win this weekend. Homecoming will be a good game, and i hope to attend! They will for sure beat OU because of course i hate OU. to bad its in Norman and i most likely wont attend which totally sucks. But considering OU lost to TCU, i think we stand a chance. Id love to see OSU get to a good bowl game, and be able to attend it. If you havent noticed i am one of the biggest OSU fans and could rave on and on about them. i guess we will see how the new coach really works out.

i suppose thats all for now...
